Investigation of Ancient Chinese＇s knowledge of Human Brain＇s Thinking ability and the Reflection of shape of Chinese character

古汉语界有不少学者一直认为,古人以为思维器官只是心,凡与人的思维、情感相关的字只从“心”,文章则通过对古代医学典籍,和以医学为基础的道家修性养身论著,及一组文字形体的考察,认为古人已认识到头脑也为思维器官.并附带再论《孟子》“良”字之义.

The bottom of the thesis discusses the meaning of ＂liang＂ （良） in ＂Meng zi（孟子）＂
